Spotify’s Global Songs of Summer 2024: The Top 5 Tracks That Ruled the Season

Unlike previous years, where a single song would take the crown, this year Spotify took a more holistic approach — considering streaming data, cultural impact, and the insight of their music editors to determine the songs that resonated most with listeners worldwide.

Here are the top 5 tracks that dominated Spotify’s summer 2024:

1. Billie Eilish – BIRDS OF A FEATHER: With over 855 million streams, this breezy hit from Billie’s third studio album became an instant anthem, especially after her unforgettable performance at the summer games closing ceremony.
   
2. Chappell Roan – HOT TO GO!: A festival favorite, this track saw major spikes after Chappell’s electrifying Gov Ball and Lollapalooza performances, making it a global summer sensation.
   
3. Kendrick Lamar – Not Like Us: This razor-sharp track transcended Drake beef to become a worldwide summer anthem, with a massive boost after Kendrick’s Juneteenth concert and the release of its music video.
   
4. Sabrina Carpenter – Espresso: Dropping just before summer, this catchy, beachy hit stayed at the top of global charts all season, proving its early contender status.
   
5. Shaboozey – A Bar Song (Tipsy): A nostalgic sing-along hit that crossed borders and topped charts worldwide, cementing its place as a summer holiday staple.
